Marriage.

in #culture5 years ago

Did you know that to some African cultures, marriage is compulsory? For example in the bakonjo culture (Kasese -Uganda) a boy or a girl gets married even before the require age because of;

  1. The parents' force onto her/him telling him/her to marry or get married because they want him/her to reproduce and increase the family number.
  2. The kind of respect given to the married ones for example to head any meeting in either the community or in the family, they you have to be married.
  3. The myth and cultural beliefs, eg. (a) The say when you reach the age of 20 without producing, then become infertile. (b) when you die with out leaving a child born of your blood, then you don't belong to their so called "nyamuhanga" (God)
